Chapter Three: Beginning

.

The same day, after holding an emergency meeting with my new executives, I hurried out of the company, to the hospital.

My husband, John, was recovering gradually from his food poisoning. It happened that he was poisoned in a business meeting, where he was about striking deals with some unreliable dudes who could not be identified till today.

''Hello dear'', I said, as I kissed him on the lip.

He felt so tired, but happy that I was around him.

''Sweetheart, how have you been?'' He asked.

''I am cool my love, but your health and safety means a lot to me, and to the world'' I said.

''Are you saying this to tease me?'' He asked.

I looked at him, and felt a slight of pain that pounded on me because of his words.

He also looked at me, and knew that he has offended me, and quickly withdrew his statement.

''I am very sorry sweetheart. I never meant to offend you. Let me say, I was just trying to play'' He said.

''It's alright dear, you would be fine, I believe so''.

''Kindly raise me up so I can sit'' He said to me.

I did, then, he brought me closer to his side, and wrapped me passionately with his hands.

John was the kind of man I have been praying, and wishing to be with. He knows exactly how to take good care of a woman, unlike Kelvin, who is as stupid as a hyena.

John kissed me on the cheek, and whispered ''I love you'' into my ears. It sounded melodious and warming. Despite the narrow pains he was experiencing, he still tried his best, to romance my hairs, knowing fully well that that was what I loved.

''How is the business going? I learnt from Jethro my best male servant, that you have changed all the company managers, and appointed new officials. Is that true?'' He inquired.

''Yes sweetheart, you are right''

''What's your reasons?'' He asked.

''I guess you are not happy with my decisions?'' I asked.

''Your decisions may not concern me, but what I'm just after, is seeing that my multi-billion dollar business return back to its glorious days'' He said.

''I c hanged all the executives for a reason I would only like to discuss with you in the secret''.

''Alright, anytime I'm okay, we would definitely talk on that''

''Greetings ma, I'm happy to see you here'' Doctor Elvis spoke.

''Thanks a lot doctor. I can see your good works towards ensuring the quick recovery of my husband''.

''It's my job madam, and I'm greatly honored by it'' He responded.

''However, your husband would be discharged in three days' time'' Doctor Elvis informed.

''Oh! That's great. I thought it was in some few weeks' time'' I asked this out of surprise.

''His recovery is very fast and unpredictable'' He said.

However, we used that opportunity of meeting ourselves, to play and flirt around and after it, I bided him goodbye. I would be coming back to see him around 8:00pm soon.

While I was walking out of the hospital, and escorted by some of my security guards, a stranger quickly passed us by, and threw a white piece of envelope at us. He immediately escaped the scene, like a lightening, and none of us could trace him.

Meanwhile, my guards quickly lifted me out of that the lane in fear that it may be a letter bomb but after few minutes and nothing frightening was heard, Samuel the body guard that was always ready to risk his life for my sake, took a bold step by picking and opening the letter. He made sure that the letter was harmless, before giving it to me.

'' Take, it's yours madam'' He said, as he stretched his hand, handing it over to me.

I received it, and started reading it. Behold, it was a letter that signified threat and it reads as follows.

 ''In other for you to live long, it's best you avoid yourself in Johns affairs. We are everywhere, both in the company and in your mansion. If you don't back out, you will regret. Meanwhile, your days are numbered''.

I smiled after reading this, and was wondering who would write such kind of letter to me, when we heard a bomb blast from outside.

We all took cover. Fear came upon me, but three of my body guards quickly left out, to take record of what just happened. Only Samuel stayed with me.

The hospital was in total shock, as everyone was filled with fears. No one was ready to go out, not even the medical practitioners nor some discharged patients.

As many people took cover, I was now desperate to go out to see for myself. Samuel noticed my eagerness, but was just waiting for my command.

''Take me outside'' I demanded.

We went out, and to my greatest surprise, I saw that it was my car that was bombed. Fear came to me the more. What if I was in the car? This was how I would have perished like a chicken? It was now I knew that our enemies were not actually joking.

Few minutes later, both police and the F.B.I. agents came around the scene.

However, no life was lost. Just my jeep was the major target and it was for a reason, which was to serve as a warning to me and John.

While I watched what was happening, and how crowd was busy approaching towards the said scene, my phone ranged, and the companies manager ''Mr. Lugard'', called and informed me that the former manager ''Kelvin'', has been released from the police custody. Although, I was expecting that because definitely, he would easily get released since it was not a crime for one to protest.

However, he filing a law suit against me, for demoting him without any reason. A fool like him, don't even know the reason why I demoted him. Anyway, I was ready for him.

I went to the ward where my husband was, and was surprise that he was no longer there. What! What is going on? I asked my body guards.
